The Good Citizen: How a Younger Generation is Reshaping American Politics (Paperback)
Russell Dalton uses a new set of national public opinion surveys to show how Americans are changing their views on what good citizenship means. It’s not about recreating the halcyon politics of a generation ago, but recognition that new patterns of citizenship call for new processes and new institutions that reflect the values of the contemporary American public. Trends in participation, tolerance, and policy priorities reflect a younger generation that is more engaged, more tolerant, and more supportive of social justice. <————
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
How come it took me 51 years to discover this great book?
Dan Brown’s “Deception Point” (very good read, BTW) and “Marker” by Robin Cook.
Great book!
“The Way to Christ: Spiritual Exercises” by John Paul II. It’s a short little book of 13 or 14 sermon’s/talks he gave on retreats in Poland in the early 1960’s to university students while he was a Bishop and before he was Pope. Very worthwhile. It’s interesting to see how consistent his thinking and focus was on many issues for thirty years. I’m not a Catholic but John Paul II was a man that knew God and these talks are straightforward and practical for a Christian.
The latest issue of American Handgunner.
“Why They Hate” by Brigitte Gabriel
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
Just trying to find out WHY the Clitoid Crime Family MURDERED these people.

Technical references are much more interesting to me than fiction.
The Road - Cormac McCarthy
Dangerous Book For Boys by Conn Iggulden and Hal Iggulden.
Just like reading things with the kids, ya know...
1) Genetic Entropy & the Mystery of the Genome (Paperback)
by John C. Sanford (Author)
Dr. John Sanford, a retired Cornell Professor, shows in Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome that the “Primary Axiom” is false. The Primary Axiom is the foundational evolutionary premise - that life is merely the result of mutations and natural selection. In addition to showing compelling theoretical evidence that whole genomes can not evolve upward, Dr. Sanford presents strong evidence that higher genomes must in fact degenerate over time. This book strongly refutes the Darwinian concept that man is just the result of a random and pointless natural process.
2) What Does God Know and When Does He Know It?: The Current Controversy over Divine Foreknowledge (Paperback)
by Millard J. Erickson
Does God know the future? Or is the future unknowable even to God?
Arguing that God interacts with his creatures spontaneously, the controversial new movement known as “open theism” has called classic church theology up for reexamination. Confronting this view, classic theists maintain that God has complete foreknowledge and that open-theist arguments are unorthodox. Each view has implications for our vision of the future and of God’s dealings with humanity.
Millard Erickson investigates the claims and counterclaims of both sides of the debate, looking at questions about prayer, the nature of evil, and the free will of human beings. He considers biblical and hermeneutical issues, the historical development of the doctrine of divine foreknowledge, philosophical influences, the doctrinal structure of the debate, and the practical implications for the church and believers today. What Does God Know and When Does He Know It? is a thorough and fair examination of both sides of this debate that arrives at some thought-provoking conclusions.

I became interested in the subject of feline nutrition when so many pet food recalls took place in the spring. I've since changed my cats' diet to a home-made raw food recipe, and both are in excellent health. Dr. Hodgkins has a lot of insights into cat care, especially the connection between commercial dry food and chronic diseases such as diabetes and urinary problems.
